Nothing beats the freedom of the open road with your best friend riding shotgun. This high-energy pop-punk anthem captures that perfect moment when you're finally old enough to escape the small town walls and chase adventure across America's endless highways.

From Southern barbecue joints to sprawling Midwest plains, we wrote this song about those life-changing road trips that make you feel truly alive for the first time. It's about trading summer jobs and familiar streets for wind-in-your-hair freedom and the kind of memories that last forever.

Crank this one up with the windows down – it's built for highway drives, late-night gas station stops, and those moments when you realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Pure pop-punk energy meets that timeless American road trip spirit.

For fans of: The Wonder Years, Real Friends, State Champs, and anyone who's ever felt the call of the open road.

Anywhere We Dare

Sometimes the best love stories start with frozen yogurt and a crazy coincidence. This sweet pop ballad tells the true story of how I met my wife – from that first magical glow I saw next to me at the fro yo shop, to discovering we were both headed to Australia, to that perfect night singing 'Chasing Cars' at a bar on the other side of the world.

What started as an awkward almost-kiss and a gentle 'let's just be friends' turned into something beautiful a year later under the winter dance moonlight. It's about those moments when you just know – even when the timing isn't quite right the first time around.

This song captures that giddy, youth feeling of falling in love, even when you're far from home and everything feels like a movie. From Omaha to Australia to that perfect kiss – some stories are just meant to be told through music.

A heartwarming pop anthem for anyone who believes in second chances, perfect timing, and love stories that span continents.

Everyday

Behind every family dinner table lies a story of unspoken pain. This emotionally charged emo-rock anthem dives deep into the silent screams that echo through families still healing from trauma – where smiles mask scars and normalcy becomes a performance we're all too tired to maintain.

Written about the weight of carrying invisible wounds, this song explores that suffocating feeling of being surrounded by people yet feeling completely alone. It's about the man who 'caused distress' and vanished, leaving a family to piece together their shattered fragments while pretending everything is fine.

But this isn't just a song about pain – it's about the breakthrough moment when someone finally dares to speak their truth. When empathy lights the path forward and honesty becomes the key to removing the heavy shroud we've all been carrying.

For anyone who's ever felt invisible at their own table, who's screamed on the inside while smiling on the outside, or who's discovered that healing begins the moment we stop pretending we're okay. Raw, cathartic, and ultimately hopeful.

Heavy themes handled with care – this one's for the survivors finding their voice.

Alone at the Table

Alone At The Table

Verse 1
When I was young I believed
I could be anything I conceived
This idea drove my life
I’d be an artist with a house and wife

I’d stay young whatever my age
Full of hope and never change
I’d be strong and break the norms
I would never dare conform

Then I got old life started moving fast
Got to get to work, got to make some cash
No time now to be a superhero
I just need to get to inbox zero

What is this reality
All these new responsibilities  
Going to all these social events
Talking about bonds and the president

Pre-Chorus
So there I was at twenty two
I had no clue what to do
Losing my own identity 
Boiling with anxiety
CHORUS
Oh no
What’s happening to me?
I’ve started conforming to society

Am I dead?
Is this in my head
I wake up in the morning and I just feel dread

VERSE 2
Flash forward now, I’m twenty nine
I’m convinced I’m doing just fine
Those old dreams, they weren’t me
I prefer now to stay busy

Then I got this sinking feeling
Maybe my life had no purpose or meaning 
What if I was nothing special
My corporate job was non essential
Pre-Chorus
Sure I was older just more confused
I had no clue what to do
Losing my own identity
Boiling with anxiety
CHORUS
Oh no
What happened to me?
I’ve lost myself to society

Am I dead?
Is this in my head
I wake up in the morning and I just feel dread
BRIDGE
I realized that I felt alone
I felt so lost in life's unknown
No longer could I hide
That I had let my own dreams die

I swore that night
To make things right
To hear my soul
To seek a path to becoming whole
FINAL CHORUS
Hello
Is this really me
I now know who I need to be
I’m not dead,
That was all in my head
I wake up in the morning and I jump out of bed

Getting Old or Letting Go?

VERSE 1
It’s late at night 
I’m all settled in
You come over nudge my shin
It’s nighttime 
You know what that means?
There’s creatures outside, hiding unseen.

I get up and walk to the door
That’s what you’ve been waiting for
I swing it open. You run into the night
Barking out you all ready for a fight?
CHORUS
Run Eddie, don’t look back
Maybe tonight you’ll catch that cat
You might be old but you’re full of energy
Moving through the yard careless and free
VERSE 2
For fifteen years you’ll do this trick
Even as you get old and sick
You’ll run around the same old tree
Having one more  victory 
CHORUS
Run Eddie, don’t look back
Maybe tonight you’ll catch that cat
You might be old but you’re full of energy
Moving through the yard careless and free
BRIDGE
It’s been some time since you’ve been gone 
I stand outside alone in the lawn
In a new place far away
From our house back in the bay

I hope one day when I die
You’ll once more be right by my side
Free from this earth we will fly
And chase the creatures in the sky

Run Eddie Run

It all started with a dog named Eddie — a scruffy little guy kids swore looked like a real-life teddy bear. When he passed in 2020, I brought his spirit back as a 3D bear: playful, honest, and the other half of me.

In A Teddy Named Eddie, we tell true stories from my life through pop punk riffs, alt rock hooks, and early 2000s nostalgia. Sometimes I’m in his world; sometimes he’s in mine. Always cinematic, always full of heart, and always a little magical.
